Permission to be Human: My Journey to Healing my Inner People Pleaser
Description
In Episode 75, I'm sharing my journey to healing my inner people pleaser & inviting you to come along for the ride.
"So if you're looking for permission to do something differently, seeking permission to try something new - consider this your sign from the universe. Permission Granted."
But I'll let you in on a little secret... you don't need my permission - you only need your own!
From the blog:
"People pleasing… something I've been asked countless times to cover on the podcast and yet the timing never felt quite right. It's a conversation that has surfaced in many of my circles, under many different circumstances and yet because it wasn't front & center in my world - I wasn't sure what value I could add to conversation in that space.
And then I started to notice a recurring theme in many of my 1:1 client sessions - from setting goals to ‘ditch the inner people pleaser’ to committing to action steps where ‘no’ is actually a full sentence, it seemed like the desire to heal this wound was surfacing at every corner. I was hearing it from peers, coworkers, executives in the hallway. It came up on nearly every coffee date with a friend. The message was loud and clear - millennials are done with people pleasing…
And so I started to note the similar sentiments, observe the associated feelings, and to describe the environments in which these thoughts surfaced in my journal. And that was where I realized it was connected to this craving… this desire… for permission to come from an external source.
It wasn't all that long ago that I found myself in a similar place in life seeking external permission to make any change even when deep down I could feel what was aligned & right.
So - WHAT CHANGED?
I stopped WAITING for permission and started to GIVE myself permission to do the things that felt right to me, even if it went against the grain."
